This is because it is difficult to ascertain which behaviors are important determinants
to safety performance and how to assign a weighting to their
importance. The current study addressed these gaps, i.e. to develop
a new SIP that combines the strengths of both behavior-based and
outcome-based SIPs. The objective was to investigate the effectiveness
of the new SIP i.e. tiered monetary incentives coupled with
clear expected safe behaviors named outcome-and-behavior-based
safety incentive program (OBBSIP). This paper presents a case
study of field experiment of the OBBSIP at fluid manufacturing
plants. A field experiment was conducted because it provided high
external validity
